ICGN is pleased to respond to the Department for BEIS Consultation on insolvency and corporate governance. We are supportive of the fundamental aims of this consultation, particularly to reduce the risk of major company failures where shortcomings in governance and stewardship may be a problem. 

We are pleased to publish the ICGN Annual Review which highlights our work programme developments over the past 12 months and will be presented at the ICGN Annual General Meeting taking place on 24th June in Milan.

The International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN) is pleased to respond to the Financial Service Agency’s (FSA) public consultation on the Exposure Draft of the Revision of the Audit Standards.

Our response to this consultation on unequal voting shares builds from our 2017 submission to MCSI. ICGN is fundamentally opposed to dual class share structures and the separation of economic ownership and voting control. We believe these structures are fundamentally flawed and carry significant governance risks for minority shareholders by diluting minority shareholder protections, management entrenchment and limited accountability. 

ICGN is pleased to respond to the FSA consultation on corporate disclosure in Japan. The subject is one of our five global policy priorities:   to promote higher standards of corporate reporting and disclosure – including both traditional financial statements, but also less traditional forms of disclosure such as integrated reporting.
